I spend a fair bit of my day manipulating .mkv, .avi and .mp4 files - renaming, deleting etc. Very recently my copy of xplorer2 Prox64 has refused to allow easy manipulation. I get the error 'The action can't be completed because the file is open in xplorer2 - explorer replacement. When I attempt the same thing in Windows 7 pro explorer I get Windows Error = 32 which is the same thing (FILE IS OPEN SOMEWHERE ELSE). I have tried many of the things that were suggested through browser searches but no joy - restarting the computer, closing down all programs except those I could see are necessary, stream.exe -s -d "<pathway>", procexp.exe, making sure I use the right hand windows, using internal and external drives but have had no joy.
I can use unlocker to unlock individual files as long as I rename/move/delete straight away but this is much slower than doing what used to happen until a a couple of days ago - select and <Shift> <Delete>. Please help.
Some files will not delete without unlocker
